Tiger’s Milk is part of the Life & Brand portfolio
South Africa - Tiger’s Milk is a popular kitchen/bar that is part of the Life & Brand portfolio, a group that runs a variety of bars, bistros and restaurants across South Africa. For this project, a new establishment located in the Johannesburg suburb of Bedfordview required a zoned audio solution to handle BGM playback throughout the premises which blended with Tiger’s Milk’s characteristic black interior.
Timelines were tight as the work needed to be finished in time for the easing of COVID-19 restrictions and re-opening of the hospitality industry in South Africa. The job was originally procured by Output AV, who specified and purchased the Audac equipment, before sub-contracting K2 Innovate for the actual integration. All the hardware was supplied by Stage Audio Works (SAW), Audac’s South African distributor.
The Audac system covers a total of seven distinct zones including four key areas of seating, the bar, outside and even the bathrooms. Audac’s ATEO range of loudspeakers with their CleverMount wall mounting technology were specified for the bar and seating areas, supplemented by WX502 universal wall-mount loudspeakers.
Six weatherproof Audac WX502-O were implemented in the outside seating area, designed to function optimally in outdoor environments with integrated advanced protection network that protects the tweeter against overload. For the bathrooms, K2 Innovate installed full-range CENA706 ceiling speakers to provide ambience whilst remaining as visually unobtrusive as possible.
The entire system is controlled via an Audac MTX88 8-zone audio matrix which enables source selection and level control for each of the seven designated audio zones. Remote control is provided by the Audac Touch app which enables restaurant staff to control levels from their mobile phones.
Matthew Billet, events manager of the Life & Brand group says, “We’re thrilled with the outcome. Our new Audac audio system has elevated our restaurant to the next level.”
